Accessibility Statement

​Christine Tomlinson for Hope Council

Last updated: September 23, 2026

I believe that accessibility is an important part of meaningful public engagement. Everyone should have the opportunity to access information, participate in community conversations and connect with those seeking to represent them in local government.

As a candidate for District of Hope Councillor, I am committed to making my campaign website and communications as accessible and inclusive as reasonably possible.

This statement outlines my approach to website accessibility and how visitors can request assistance or report accessibility concerns.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

The Christine Tomlinson for Hope Council website is designed to provide information about my candidacy, professional background, campaign priorities and opportunities for community engagement.

Efforts are being made to support accessibility through:

• Clear, readable language and organized website content.

• Consistent navigation and page layouts.

• Readable typography and appropriate colour contrast.

• Alternative text for meaningful images.

• Mobile-friendly website design.

• Accessible contact forms and opportunities for communication.

• Consideration of people using assistive technologies.

The website aims to follow the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which provide internationally recognized guidance for improving digital accessibility.

Accessibility Assistance

I recognize that visitors may have different accessibility needs and that not every person accesses information in the same way.

If you experience difficulty using this website, accessing campaign information or participating in a campaign event, please contact me.

I welcome requests for information in alternative formats and will make reasonable efforts to accommodate individual accessibility needs.

This may include providing campaign information through email, assisting with access to website content or discussing accessibility requirements for upcoming campaign events.

Known Accessibility Limitations

While efforts are made to maintain an accessible website, some features or content may not be fully accessible to every visitor.

Certain third-party services, embedded applications or website features may have accessibility limitations outside the campaign's direct control.

If you encounter a barrier, I encourage you to bring it to my attention so that I can explore possible solutions or provide the information through another means.

Campaign Events & Community Engagement

Accessibility is also an important consideration for in-person campaign activities.

If you are interested in attending a campaign event and have accessibility requirements, please contact me in advance so we can discuss available arrangements.

I recognize that meaningful community participation requires consideration of different abilities, circumstances and communication needs.

Please include a description of the accessibility barrier or the information you are trying to access, along with your preferred method of communication.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing consideration. As the website develops and new campaign materials are published, I will continue to consider opportunities to improve access to information and participation.

Feedback from visitors is welcome and can help identify barriers that may otherwise go unnoticed.

My goal is to make campaign information understandable, accessible and available to the residents who wish to engage with it.
